How to Make Korean Beef Marinade

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, green onions, and black pepper.
  2. Add the flank steak to the marinade, ensuring it's fully coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, for maximum flavor.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the flank steak from the marinade and discard the marinade.
  4. Grill the steak for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer to your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches your preferred level of doneness.
  5. Let the steak rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain. Serve and enjoy!
